Please NOTE: Students may complete the requirements for the bachelor’s degree program within two years, although certain majors may require more than 20 courses, which could result in extended time at La Salle.
DCCC-La Salle Dual Admission Students: Please refer to the Dual Admission application for eligibility requirements. Students interested in applying to La Salle through the Dual Admission program must sign the Dual Admission Application before completing 45 college-level credits. The Dual Admission Agreement includes a Core-to-Core component. Under the Dual Admission agreement, La Salle University’s Core will essentially be fulfilled by the Core at Delaware County Community College, provided students take two CORE “qualifiers”: one English Writing/Research course (which can be satisfied by ENG 115 at DCCC or taken at La Salle) and REL 100: Religion Matters (which must be taken at La Salle because there is no equivalent course offered at the community college).
Non-Dual Admission students who transfer to La Salle University will be required to complete the entire La Salle Core, which includes specific courses in a number of disciplines. Coursework can be taken at La Salle or prior to transfer. Seek advisement for course options and visit the La Salle website, www.lasalle.edu, to view the current course catalog.
* When equivalent courses are worth different credit amounts, the course will be satisfied and the amount of credit earned will transfer.
